    Inhibition of itch by neurokinin 1 receptor (Tacr1) -expressing ON cells in the rostral ventromedial medulla in mice

    Taylor Follansbee, Dan Domocos ... Earl Carstens
    Activation of Tacr1-expressing neurons including ON cells in the rostral ventromedial medulla inhibits acute and chronic itch-related behavior.

    Understanding implicit sensorimotor adaptation as a process of proprioceptive re-alignment

    Jonathan S Tsay, Hyosub Kim ... Richard B Ivry
    A new computational model reveals how implicit sensorimotor adaptation is elicited to re-align one's felt and desired hand position.

    TRPV1 drugs alter core body temperature via central projections of primary afferent sensory neurons

    Wendy Wing Sze Yue, Lin Yuan ... David Julius
    Capsaicin and other vanilloid receptor ligands alter core body temperature by perturbing central thermoregulatory pathways through activation/inhibition of TRPV1 receptors on peripheral sensory nerve fibers.

    Flexible and efficient simulation-based inference for models of decision-making

    Jan Boelts, Jan-Matthis Lueckmann ... Jakob H Macke
    A new machine learning method makes it possible to efficiently identify the parameters of cognitive models using Bayesian inference, even when only model simulations are available.

    Information flows from hippocampus to auditory cortex during replay of verbal working memory items

    Vasileios Dimakopoulos, Pierre Mégevand ... Johannes Sarnthein
    Precisely tracking the anatomical sources of neural computations infers functional directed connectivity between hippocampal memory neurons and cortical sensory neurons, it reveals information flowing from cortex to hippocampus during encoding but the reverse direction during maintenance.

    Exploring the expression patterns of palmitoylating and de-palmitoylating enzymes in the mouse brain using the curated RNA-seq database BrainPalmSeq

    Angela R Wild, Peter W Hogg ... Shernaz X Bamji
    A curated resource to study the brain RNA expression patterns of the genes that regulate palmitoylation is presented, alongside a detailed exploration of how these patterns can inform future research.

    Connectomic analysis of the Drosophila lateral neuron clock cells reveals the synaptic basis of functional pacemaker classes

    Orie T Shafer, Gabrielle J Gutierrez ... Maria de la Paz Fernandez
    The most influential clocks within the Drosophila circadian clock neuron network form the fewest synapses within the network, and neurons that do not themselves contain molecular clocks mediate connections between those that do, suggesting a key role in timekeeping.

    Enteroendocrine cell types that drive food reward and aversion

    Ling Bai, Nilla Sivakumar ... Zachary A Knight
    A method for the genetic manipulation of enteroendocrine cells reveals how different intestinal cell types control food intake and drive post-ingestive learning.

    Dopamine D2Rs coordinate cue-evoked changes in striatal acetylcholine levels

    Kelly M Martyniuk, Arturo Torres-Herraez ... Christoph Kellendonk
    Pharmacological and genetic studies in the mouse reveal how dopamine D2 receptors on cholinergic interneurons regulate cue-evoked changes in the levels of striatal acetylcholine and dopamine during behavior.

    Lactate receptor HCAR1 regulates neurogenesis and microglia activation after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia

    Lauritz Kennedy, Emilie R Glesaaen ... Johanne E Rinholm
    HCAR1 knockout mice are unable to initiate brain tissue repair after a hypoxic-ischemic injury.
